Exactly NW. And Oppose Trump Always Bobby of course it's only for certain areas. Also this was the main issue he ran he is very passionate about border security. He is sincere

"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall."

After Trump's lackluster speech and Pelosi and Schumer refusing to negotiate, we are again at an impasse.

I haven't seen any poll where the majority doesn't blame Trump for the Trump Shutdown.

Pelosi and Schumer did negotiate, they agreed on republican bills that passed the Senate and passed the House TWICE under both democratic and republican leadership. It's Trump who refused to sign those bills because he's allowing himself to be led around by the likes of Coulter and Rush.

...the problem is that both parties are now trying to posture for a way out where the opponent can't claim they "won".

They're arguing over than less than 1% of the federal budget...

Trump is an incredibly insecure individual with an insatiable ego that needs to be constantly fed. Anything that will allow him to say he "won" will satisfy him, and also encourage his behavior moving forward. We'll never hear the end of it...but hopefully that'll only last another 2 years.

As for "arguing over than less than 1% of the federal budget"...I thought "conservatives" strongly opposed spending on needless projects. You seem willing to spend $5B to satisfy the ego of a petulant child. That money could be put to better use.

With his ego sometimes I wonder if he just wants to be the President and the reason for the country's longest shutdown. He craves attention, and negative attention is still attention.

Democrats KNOW a barrier is needed in certain areas. But their hatred for Trump keeps them from doing what they should. President election next yr can't have Trump have his wall/barrier victory. Hope logical people see that . You trump haters won't

What victory can he declare? He promised many times that Mexico was going to pay for the wall. No matter how anyone wants to spin it, wall or no wall that's an epic failure by not keeping that promise.

The Democrats are for fencing in certain areas and I haven't heard one of them oppose a Tech-wall. But none of that has anything to do with Trump shutting down the government. 800,000 Federal workers and Farmers shouldn't be held hostage. Tarriffs are hurting Farmers and those same Framers are getting screwed again because they aren't getting their tariff relief checks.
